‘The Rookie’ Star Teases Shake-Up, What it Means for Her Character

'The Rookie' star was painfully cryptic, but said that the new addition was something she "didn't see coming". "It's very fun," she added.

Jenna Dewan has opened up about the highly anticipated new season of The Rookie. As reported by People, she revealed what the newest season means for her character, firefighter Bailey Nune.

As actors just seem to love to do, she explained that there are good things to come - but not what. She said there'll be "some incredible storylines" that she's "very, very excited about".

"There's a new character, an addition to my storyline that is very interesting; I didn't see it coming. It's very fun," she explained. In case you don't remember where Bailey is at the end of the season, let's fill you in.

Bailey and her husband Nolan (Nathan Fillion) had gone long-distance for a time in the 8th season, before going back to Los Angeles. Good news for The Rookie fans, as they're known for having some of the best chemistry in the show - naturally, being husband and wife.

She also revealed another part of the show she's excited for everyone to see. "I do one of my most thrilling scenes so far during the season, which I'm really excited to show."
